Thats about £300 in parts but shocks are nice on uk roads, Suplex springs are better pricing than KYB as on over stock saleKYB have 2 year waranty on shocks.

Pedders is another option & they do do slightly lowered sets if that your thing.
I like KYBs & if being fussy when pairing with S turbo or XT models I like match the with custom springs from springcoil.co.uk, you can lower about 25mm on these kyb struts .

Cheers mate I did look on eBay but bit pricey the ones we found, will look now pal, cheers

Those prices are about best you will get for what is decent branded quality parts, probably about 40% cheaper than average factor prices .
You may find the KYB struts will combine postage saving a bit.Other options are optimal struts but I would take KYB every time at those prices .
One thing to note is you will be about 10 to 15mm higher than standard turbo ride height because you using standard non SLS rear springs & matching front, you CAN NOT use the s-turbo rear springs as they only pair to SLS oem struts, if fussy on ride height use custom springcoil.co.uk springs (£200 roughly full car set) . What ever do will still handle way better than old dead struts & fatigued springs, springcoil is nice bonus if road/motorway car & fast driver & they can set spring rates & ride height to benefit your usage inc rear carry load/towing etc .
They quite easy fit so if you handy with a spanner you can save few £ , brake line through rear strut bracket can be troublesome but not overly pricey make up new short hard-lines to wheel cylinder if needed, I would do set within 2.5 hours inc rear brake line if issue as rough guide. Working at home will be longer but it not unpleasant if plan it well & spray all fitting with release oil day or 2 in advance ...
